Janus integer, the currant stem girdler, is a species of stem sawfly in the family Cephidae native to North America.[1][2][3]
Life Cycle
[edit]Adults emerge from the middle to the last of May in New York. The female punctures a cane a few inches from the tip and inserts an egg into the pith. Eggs are yellowish-white elongate ovals and hatch in about eleven days. They become full-grown about the first of September. These sawflies hibernate as larvae wrapped in a silken cocoon and pupate in early spring, emerging a few days later. [3]
